Who do you love Bo? I don�t know but we all love you� love you live
Today (well tomorrow December 30) Bo Diddley is celebrating his 73rd birthday!
He is not just a living legend, �the originator�, a real big influence in rock and blues, he is a rolling stone!
He has been covered by many of the greatest acts in rock, just to mention The Rolling Stones, Ian Stewart (his Deluxe Band), Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Humble Pie, The Doors, The Jeff Beck Group, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Yardbirds, Muddy Waters, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Carlos Santana, Johnnie Winter, The Animals, The Band, Canned Heat, Al Kooper, Chicago Transit Authority, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, John Hammond, Ronnie Hawkins, The Kinks, The Pretty Things (with original Rolling Stone Dick Taylor), Hank Williams, Jr, Koko Taylor and many more here, there and everywhere!
With the Stones:
1962-1963: The Stones used to play at least the following songs by Bo Bring It To Jerome, Crackin� Up Crawdad, Hey Bo Diddley, Diddley Daddy, Mona, I�m Alright and Nursery Rhyme.
